Waste Tire Hauler Program

A business or person who transports waste tires or materials derived from waste tires over the highways of the State and more specifically in Clark County, Nevada is required to obtain a waste tire hauler permit from the Solid Waste Management Authority.

What is considered a waste tire?2018-10-02T13:07:14-07:00

Per the Solid Waste Management Authority Regulations, a “waste tire” means a tire that is not fit for use as a tire. For example, if a vehicle has a tire replaced at an automotive maintenance facility, the tire that is removed would be considered a waste tire as the automotive facility has deemed that the tire is no longer fit or safe for continued use.

Do I need a waste tire hauler permit?2024-09-16T11:29:37-07:00

While the definition of a Waste Tire Hauler is defined in the Solid Waste Management Authority Regulations and Nevada Administrative Code, not all haulers of waste tires may need a permit. In Clark County, Nevada, a permit is required when a hauler of waste tires picks up a waste tire or tires from a point of generation and hauls them to a site for disposal. For example, a vehicle used to transport waste tires to a facility or location that will accept the tires for disposal would need to apply for and maintain a Waste Tire Hauler permit from the Southern Nevada Health District.

  • Persons who generate and transport their own waste tires
